The Manhood Peninsula SWMP Surface Water Management Plans, or SWMPs for short, The SWMP for the Manhood Peninsula has been look at flooding that occurs in response rainfall when: prepared by CH2M HILL on behalf of West Sussex Sewers and drains become inundated County Council. Work began in July 2014 and the final report was issued in August 2015. Waterlogged ground leads to runoff from land Small rivers and/or ditches overflow The study area is shown in Figure 1 below. The A27 Water contained within rocks under the ground forms the northern boundary of the study area while the rises up above the surface (this is called Pagham Rife forms the eastern boundary. To the west groundwater flooding). the study boundary is determined by Chichester Harbour. Drainage in the Manhood Peninsula discharges A SWMP sets out a long-term action plan for dealing either to Chichester Harbour, Pagham Harbour or direct with types of flooding. to the sea. Figure 1 – Manhood Peninsula SWMP Study Area Manhood Peninsula – Non Technical Summary Manhood Peninsula Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) Throughout the development of the SMWP there has data, and information on historic rainfall, topography and been close engagement with key stakeholders, including drainage. All this information was compiled and mapped West Sussex County Council (WSCC), Chichester using computer based Geographic Information Systems. District Council, The Environment Agency, Southern Water, parish councils and local flood action groups, Manhood Peninsula Partnership and Manhood Wildlife and Heritage Group (MHWG). Objectives The objectives of the Manhood Peninsula SWMP were to: understand the surface water drainage in this area and gather additional data to reduce gaps in knowledge; identify pinch points in the network and connectivity issues; identify potential improvement works to reduce flood risk to communities in the Peninsula including capital and maintenance measures, building on the work already undertaken by communities, Flooding in North Mundham (June 2012) partnerships and other organisations; produce up to date GIS data of the ditch network, building on the work undertaken by Royal Recent flooding issues Haskoning, based on site visits undertaken to various locations in the Peninsula The Manhood Peninsula has suffered from river and coastal flooding, such as overtopping of the coastal Methodology defences to the west of Selsey in 2005. Furthermore, during extreme rainfall events or very wet winters The methodology for the project broadly follows the significant flooding occurs across the Manhood SWMP Technical Guidance published by DEFRA in Peninsula, as was the case in autumn 2000, June 2012, 2010. The key project stages were as follows: Winter 2012/13 and Winter 2013/14.

Flooding of this nature can emerge anywhere if ditches are blocked or there are collapses/blockages in the piped drainage network. • Consider options to alleviate flooding The most detailed evidence of flooding across the 4 Manhood Peninsula is available from WSCC highway incident logs from June 2012 to March 2014. As the time period covers a major summer storm event (June 2012), and two extremely wet winters (2012/13 and 2013/14) it Data is reasonable to assume that the incident logs provide a A wide range of data was collated and analysed to help good representation of the flooding impacts across the understand the local flooding issues. This included data Manhood Peninsula. The areas which experienced the from previous studies of the Manhood Peninsula (e.g. highest number of properties (>5) affected by flooding Royal Haskoning Land Drainage Study), historic flooding during this period included: Manhood Peninsula SWMP – Non Technical Summary Manhood Peninsula Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) Almodington; Moderate Crouchers (A286) Birdham; priority Runcton Earnley; South Mundham East Wittering; Stockbridge Hunston; West Itchenor Selsey; Sidlesham; Somerley, and; Potential measures West Wittering.

Further maintenance mitigation vulnerable to flooding measures are needed to reduce flooding and ensure the To identify the priority locations for the SWMP the ‘key drainage infrastructure is functioning as intended. areas for drainage’ identified in Phase 3 of the Royal Haskoning Land Drainage Study were considered. There were 48 key areas for drainage identified by Royal Haskoning. Subsequently, in each of these areas it was identified whether there had been flooding to property and infrastructure based on the WSCC highway incident logs, Southern Water’s sewer flooding register, and information gathered from the stakeholder meetings. Areas where no flooding was recorded were excluded from further analysis. In addition, during this stage any additional areas which suffered flooding which had not been identified as key areas for drainage were considered. Following this process there were 21 locations short- listed for further consideration. The remaining 21 locations were prioritised into the highest, moderate, or Florence Pond, Sidlesham low/other priority areas, based on: However, in a low-lying area such as the Manhood the number of properties at risk or flooded Peninsula the drainage system is highly sensitive to internally; blockages and poor maintenance which will hinder the the type of road affected by flooding; flow of flood water.

  • Manhood Peninsula
    Overall Character THE WEST SUSSEX LANDSCAPE Land Management Guidelines This Character Area lies in the south west of the county, to the south of Chichester, between the harbours of Chichester and Pagham. A large part of this area has been reclaimed from the sea, and remains below the current high spring tide level. It is mainly flat open landscape, dominated by highly productive large arable fields and modern farm buildings and characterised by a decline in tree and hedgerow cover and loss of grassland habitats. Habitation is predominantly in scattered small traditional settlements and larger suburban villages. Areas of unimproved grassland still exist along the edges of streams and rifes which are often immediately bordered by reed beds. Sheet SC2 In contrast, some parts have a patchwork of smaller enclosed pastures and horse paddocks which have a more intimate character. Parkland tree belts remaining from former estates are an occasional feature and there are significant clusters of glasshouses in the Sidlesham area. Manhood Key Characteristics G Large scale arable farming with large, often hedgeless fields. G Mainly low-lying flat landform. G Extensive farms with both traditional and modern farm buildings and silos. Peninsula G Pockets of small enclosed pasture fields and horse paddocks. G Industry in the countryside mainly associated with horticulture, resulting in large expanses of South Coast Plain G Linear villages. glasshouses. G G Narrow, right-angled or winding lanes. Scattered vernacular villages with mixed building materials, often flint, brick, half timber and stone, often with sprawling modern fringes. G Occasional views from the land of the water, or of yacht masts.

Local communities now have a greater influence over the way their neighbourhoods are developed, placing community need at its heart, along with co-operation with developers and local authorities. In addition to a number of policy changes, one of the most significant is the way the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) is applied through the involvement of local communities and a presumption in favour of sustainable developments in line with community need. The removal of the regional tier with the abolition of regional spatial strategies (RSS), local planning policy has become essential. Communities defined by parish or geography have been encouraged to develop their own neighbourhood plans, to provide an informed and contextual framework to determine future development, whilst conforming to strategic and local policies. Through the development of neighbourhood plans, it is essential to give the community every opportunity to contribute their thoughts and to comment on any proposed developments.

Authors’ pre-print version Keywords Managed realignment; Hydrodynamics ; Suspended Sediment Concentration; Altimeter; Storms; United Kingdom, West Sussex, Medmerry Managed Realignment Site Abstract Managed Realignment (MR) is becoming increasingly popular with many coastal managers and engineers. Monitoring of MR sites has provided growing evidence that many of the saltmarshes created in these environments have lower biodiversity than naturally formed intertidal marshes, and may not fully deliver the anticipated ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration and coastal flood defence. Despite the importance of the sedimentary environment in developing an intertidal morphology suitable for plant establishment and succession, the evolution of the sediment erosion, transportation, deposition and consolidation cycle in newly breached sites is rarely examined. This study evaluates the hydrodynamics and concentration of suspended sediment exported and imported along the main drainage channel within the Medmerry Managed Realignment Site, West Sussex, UK, the largest open coast realignment in Europe (at the time of breaching).
